'Wild Sing' Um Tae-goo confessed that the body exposure was "all CG."
On the afternoon of the 18th at Lotte World Tower in Jamsil, Seoul, a press screening for the film "Wild Sing" was held. Leading actors Gang Dong-won, Um Tae-goo, Park Ji-hyun, Oh Jung-se, and director Son Jae-gon attended the event.
'Wild Sing' (director Son Jae-gon, distributed by Lotte Entertainment, produced by About Film) tells the story of a three-member mixed dance group, 'Triangle,' that once swept the music scene but disbanded overnight after an unexpected incident, and their reckless challenge to seize a comeback opportunity 20 years later. It is a work that brings together About Film, the production company of the 2019 comedy 'Extreme Job,' which drew 16.26 million viewers, and director Son Jae-gon, who built a distinctive comedic world with 'Secrets Not to Harm' (Haechiji Anha) .
Gang Dong-won, who began as one of Korea's representative handsome men and has conquered every genre, plays Hyun Woo, the Triangle leader and dance machine who boasts a unique aura and picture-perfect visuals, leading the team at its center. The powerful actor Um Tae-goo plays Sang-gu, the youngest Triangle member and storm rapper who boasts unrestrained swag, and the rising star Park Ji-hyun, active across film and series, plays Domi, the Triangle center who radiates refreshing energy and absolute charm. The unpredictable chemistry of these newly met idol-members of Triangle is the film's biggest draw. In addition, Oh Jung-se plays Seong-gon, a self-proclaimed eardrum boyfriend and a tragic ballad singer who has been number two for 39 consecutive weeks, injecting the film with unique comedy and cheerful vitality.
In the film, Um Tae-goo, who debuted solo after the group's breakup, shoots a revealing photobook, and about this he said, "The exposed parts were CG. The important parts were CG," and explained the secret, saying, "Not all of it was my body. I wore pants for the shoot, and afterwards we used CG to lower the pants and worked that way," drawing laughter.
Um Tae-goo delivered excellent rap in the work, and director Son Jae-gon expressed gratitude, saying, "We wrote the rap scenes into lines first, and the actors practiced. You might think a director prepares very detailed and thorough plans, but I write the script and only discuss the general ideas. The actors train a lot with their respective specialist teachers where I'm not present. There wasn't much the director actually did out of sight. My coach was hardly helpful for the rap parts either. It seems everyone practiced hard on their own."
Meanwhile, "Wild Sing" opens on June 3.
